In this episode, "Taxes in Retirement," we take a straightforward look at how taxes can apply after you stop working. It covers common retirement income sources like Social Security, pensions, and retirement accounts, and how they're typically taxed. The goal is to provide general context around what retirees often encounter, highlight a few planning considerations, and explain why taxes may still matter in retirement.
